Name for 3rd child

Help! Now that we know our third baby is a girl, we're on the hunt for a name that fits with the other two. Our kids are named Laurie and Mika...

We like short, Dutch names that are also easy to pronounce in English, and preferably not too common (not a top 10 name). Any tips??

    Pity no top 10, I immediately thought of Laurie, Mika and Tess!

    But uh, Noor? (can that be in English?)

    I also think Nova is absolutely lovely, but it doesn't resonate with my husband
    Tess is on my shortlist despite being in the top 10; a short name sounds so nice in the lineup.
    Britt is also really nice, but unfortunately already in the family, just like Amy (which rules out Evy too).

    Mama Krisje,
    I think I'm one of the few who don't find Nova a nice or beautiful name either.
    Ag, tastes differ, right?
    Maybe you'll like these names a bit more?
    Jasmijn.
    Annemijn
    Mila
    Jula
    Tirza, I thought was really beautiful for our oldest daughter.
    But I couldn't convince my husband, unfortunately.
    It ended up being Yara, which I also thought was really beautiful, luckily.
    Maybe Tirza could be something for you?
    Terra
    That's it for now

    What do you think of Liva?
    Meaning: love is forever.
    Good luck with choosing!

    I think Evy sounds nice next to Amy, why shouldn't it? Seems nice, e.g., 2 cousins who are called that.
    Although I personally don't like Evy for when she's, say, 50 or so.

    Thanks for all your replies! Meanwhile, we've made a shortlist of 3 names.
    I think Liva and Lieve have something special, but I find the 'v' a bit harsh. So we ended up with Liene, as well as Lotte (my husband thinks it's really beautiful) and Carly (I find it sweet and tough). 3 completely different names, so I'm still curious which one we'll end up with!

    Lotte and Carly both super cute!

    I wouldn't go for Carly, since you already have Laurie.
    Although I do think it's a nice name.
    Lotte seems the boldest to me! Liene feels softer, gentler.
